Neuritis - is an inflammatory disease of the peripheral nerves and nerve plexuses. Neuritis manifest severe pains via the course of the affected nerve, muscle weakness and atrophy (a decrease in their volume), changes in skin sensitivity to cold, heat, touch, movement disorders. The most common causes of neuritis are overcooling, trauma, intoxication, osteochondrosis of the spine (acute phase), metabolic disorders (diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis of the brain’s blood vessels, ischemic nerve damage, due to insufficient blood supply to them, tumors of the neighboring organs or tissues.
More often in neurological practice are affected the trigeminal, facial, eye, vestibular-cochlear, glossopharyngeal, small and large occipital, sciatic, tibial and peroneal nerves. When a peripheral neuritis of the facial nerve twisted face is noted, hypesthesia, the patient can not baring his teeth, closed his eyes on the affected side implies liquid food from the mouth.
When the auditory nerve neuritis associated with atherosclerosis, diabetes, neuroinfections, noise is produced in the ear, hearing loss progressing, can be congenital hearing loss. Optic neuritis - it is a defeat of the papillomacular beam at the site of the eyeball to the optic chiasm and may occur due to trauma, intoxication, multiple sclerosis (retrobulbar neuritis). Characterized by a sharp decline in visual acuity, decrease in pupil reaction to the light. In traumatic lesions of the nerve plexuses (plexites, plexopatiums) pain radiating to the shoulder, hands, feet, joined by crawling, "feeling of numbness," motor impairment (paresis). Also numbness and tingling can be caused by deficiency of Ca, Mg, linoleic acids, from which are formed in the body prostaglandins, as well as vitamins group B (B6, B1, B2), that are necessary for normal metabolism of nerve tissue.
Currently, among the peripheral nervous system disorders have spread compression-ischemic neuropathies, from which the tunnel neuropathies are isolated, contributing according to our observations, for about 25 - 27% of the diseases of peripheral NS.
This symptom complex is caused by compression of nerves and blood vessels in the anatomical channels or tunnels. The survey highlighted the following tunnel syndromes:
• muscular (femoral nerve compression at Gunter's channel)
• fibromuscular (costoclavicular)
• Musculoskeletal (obturator)
• bone and fibrous,
• bone (Fallopian channel).
Three phases are distinguished:
1) irritative;
2) irritative-deficit;
3) deficit.
When visiting a center, patients complained of sensitivity to changes along the affected nerve, weakness and muscle atrophy, trophic disorders (changes in skin, nails, hair, acrocyanosis). Other disorders, manifesting acute symptoms are neuralgia characterized by burning, aching or dull pain along the nerve: trigeminal neuralgia, occipital nerve, brachial plexus, sciatic, gluteal nerves, etc.
With intercostal neuralgia along the intercostal space appear sharp "shooting" pains, aggravated sharply by breath. Treatment should be comprehensive: medical, rehabilitation with help of BAP, chiropractic, herbal medicine, reflexology.
Treatment
Academician, doctor of medicine, G.S. Avakyan has developed a unique methodology for integrated treatment of diseases of the peripheral nerves, and many of the symptoms that accompany them.
Statistics
During the 2000-2005 y.y. the outcomes in 1080 patients were examined: of these, 385 were men, women - 639 (ages 29 to 56 years), 56 children (ages 2 to 14 years).
The main complaints of patients with lesions of the peripheral nervous system were:
• pain along an inflamed nerve - 88%;
• reduced sensitivity in the face - 47%;
• a feeling of heaviness in the cheek or neck - 23%;
• a sense of "clicks" in the spine during movement - 31%;
• abnormalities in the walking functions 17%;
• atrophic lesion of the optic nerves -19%;
• hearing loss in both ears (cochlear nerve neuritis) - 24%.
Depending on the causes of the defeat, expression of the inflammatory process, disease duration, an earlier treatment, the patient's age, his physical activity, occupation combination of drugs and herbal teas, their doses has been changed.
A full course of treatment was 2 years
Assessment of treatment outcomes was conducted independently, by patients with help of special questionnaires and the results of X-rays, electromyography, NMRI results before and after treatment.
The evaluation was conducted in the dynamics (3, 6, 12 and 24 months).
After processing the statistical data, the results were as follows: after 1 month of treatment in 75% of cases significantly decreased the pain, in 69% - increased range of motion in the affected segments of the spine, in 43% -recovered neuromuscular transmission in damaged nerve in tunnel syndrome , in 63%- disappeared feeling of heaviness in the cervical or lumbar part, in 64% - have disappeared muscle atrophy and in 58% - restored the visual acuity, and in 70% noise in hears has disappeared, hearing was restored, in 63% of the number of patients, who have applied with congenital or acquired hearing nerve neuritis.
Contraindications to receive herbal teas and bionormalizers: idiosyncrasy of medicinal herbs.
The mechanism of action
From the medicinal plants an active ingredients were identified by the liphylization method (lecithin, amino acids, neurotransmitters, vitamins E, D, B1, B2, B6, PP, C, trace elements Mg, K, Ca, Cu, Re, Se, P).
The main properties of these biologically active substances are:
1) The vasodilating action;
2) improving the rheological properties of blood, increasing cerebral and peripheral blood circulation;
3) providing antioxidant activity (due to the blockade of free radicals at the cellular level), cytoprotective (restoration of myelin protein, improvement of nutrition and the electrical conductivity of the spinal and radicular nerves) and anti-sclerotic effects, resulting in improved memory, attention, increases resistance to physical and psycho-emotional loads, restored vision and hearing;
4) normalized licvoproduction and venous drainage in the affected segments of the spine;
5) hondroprotectiv effect (stimulation of cell growth of cartilage and bone tissue, joint and strengthen the ligaments of the spine);
6) The regulation of all types of metabolism (fat, carbohydrate, protein, minerals);
7) immunocorrecting action, aimed at the non-specific body defense.
Spinal Disease
The problem of diseases of the spine is always in the center of attention of practitioners and researchers. The frequency of severe pain in the spine, breaking the daily lives and force people to seek medical care, reaching all over the world the 80% level.
In other words, during the life at least 80% of people experience them once or suffer from chronic vertebrogenic low back pain and in legs, over 50% - in the neck and hands, and 30% - in the chest domain and abdomen.
The average age of patients, suffering from vertebrogenic diseases of the peripheral NA (including traumatic genesis), is 25 - 50 years, and is a major cause of temporary disability. Osteochondrosis – is the most common dystrophic diseases of the spine. The manifestations of this pathology depend on person's physical activity, and due to inherited predisposition, associated with structural features of the musculoskeletal system, the depth of the spinal canal, endocrine-metabolic, immunological shifts and concomitant somatic diseases.
In the cervical region the cause of pain sensations is spondylarthrosis, uncovertebral arthritis, spinal channel stenosis, scoliosis.
At the thoracic level we have dominance by the phenomenon spondylosis, arthrosis; occasionally formed intervertebral disk herniation, compressing the spinal cord and roots are expressed in chronic recurrent vertebro-cervico-torakalgy.
The cause of pain in the lumbar and sacral regions may be instability syndrome, spondylolisthesis, spondiloatrosis and injuries.
Initial signs of dystrophic process in the disks, joints, spine are found at a young age (before 30 years). They are often occurred in people of “sitting" professions, and are represented by positional, postural pain, dull pain manifested in the neck (functional blockade of the neck), thoracic or lumbar spine, while working in a sitting position, with a fixed posture, when you lean forward, after a long standing in one place.
In the next phase of dysfunction sharp pain appeared in the spine reflective in response to an awkward movement, hypothermia, slight injury, which corresponds to the backache or acute cervicalgia, or toracalgia or lumbalgia. More persistent are the back pains with irradiation in muscles, bones, shoulder or pelvic girdle.
Pains are accompanied by paravertebral muscle tension, limited range of motion, are amplified in the extreme positions of flexion, extension, and especially during the rotation of the spine. It is characterized by morning stiffness of the affected part of the spine, which is reduced after walking, massage, exercise therapy.
Gradually joined instability syndrome, which manifests itself more in an upright position, while walking, a sense of "clicks" in the neck or lower back, when moving, "jamming" at the time of spinal movement. There could be phenomenon of vascular dysfunction, which usually resolves within 1.5-2 months.
If the physical load continues, and the patient is not treated, there comes a stage of neurological deficit, that affects a lot of roots, that formed a herniated intervertebral disc, spinal channel stenosis and spinal radicular vertebrogenic disorders, and cerebral blood flow.
Exist irradiation of the pain in hands, feet, joining paresthesia, "numbness," motor impairment (paresis). Numbness and tingling can be caused by deficiency of Ca, Mg, deficiency of linoleic acid, of which in the body formed prostaglandins, and vitamin deficiency of group B (B6, B1, B2), that are necessary for normal metabolism of nerve tissue.
When osteochondrosis, may be affected large nerves or nerve plexus, which is manifested as neuralgia (neuralgia of trigeminal, occipital nerve, brachial plexus, sciatic, gluteal nerve, etc.), accompanied by a sharp, aching, burning or dull pain along the nerve and growing at any movement.
With intercostal neuralgia along the intercostal space sharp "shooting" pain appeared, aggravated by sharp breath. It is also important overcooling of the body. Treatment of the vertebrogenic and exstravertebral syndromes should be comprehensive: medical, rehabilitation with BAS, chiropractic, herbal medicine.
Treatment
Academician, doctor of medicine, G.S. Avakyan has developed a unique technique of a complex treatment of the spinal diseases and many of the symptoms, that accompany them.
Statistics
After statistical processing the results of the combined treatment were as follows:
• within 1 month of the beginning the treatment with bionormalizers, in 72% of cases pain syndrome was significantly decreased;
• 69% - increased range of motion in the affected segments of the spine;
• 43% - posture was restored;
• 70% - feeling of heaviness in the cervical or lumbar spine has disappeared;
• 63% - was restored the tone in the affected muscle was restored;
• 51% -the sensitivity along the affected nerves was restored.
